Victorious Saturn Crimson

Latin victōriōsus, of victory — derived from victor (winner). As a color modifier, victorious implies a saturated-and-celebratory-and-conquering quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Imperial victory-procession purpura-dyed paludamentum cloak. Sits at the bold-and-celebratory end of the grid, parallel to triumphant and conquering.

Latin Saturnus, Roman-god-of-time-and-sixth-planet. As a color modifier, saturn implies a Roman-god-of-time-and-ringed-sixth-planet quality, the visual register of Roman-Saturn-and-Cassini-rings hand-Roman-god-of-time-and-ringed-sixth-planet Roman-Saturn-and-Cassini-rings-and-Saturnalia saturn-and-Roman-god-of-time-and-ringed-planet surfaces under Roman-Saturn-and-Cassini-rings-and-Saturnalia Saturnalia-festival-and-ringed-gas-giant ringed-planet-light. Sits at the modifier-and-zodiac end of the grid, parallel to jupiter and neptune in usage.

From the Old Spanish cremesin, itself from the Arabic qirmiz — the kermes scale insect, dried and ground into a brilliant carmine dye prized in the medieval Mediterranean. For centuries the most expensive red on a draper's shelf, reserved for cardinals, kings, and the cloth that gave English the word crimson. Cooler than scarlet, deeper than rose; the color of pomegranate seeds and a serious occasion.
